1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Marital status is an important risk factor for physical frailty. However, there are limited data on spousal concordance of physical frailty among married couples. Here, we evaluate the spousal concordance of frailty as defined by the Fried frailty phenotype and specific phenotype components that contribute to this association. Data on 315 married couples (630 individuals) aged between 70 and 84 years were obtained from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS). Multivariate logistic regressions were used for the analysis. After adjusting for covariates (age, body mass index, education, house ownership, comorbidity, cognition, depressive symptoms, cohabitation with adult children for both partners), a husband's frailty was positively associated with his wife's frailty (odds ratio (OR) 3.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-10.73,
